I have a 34/35 Chevy pickup made from a 1 1/2 ton truck.
Yes, the wood inside the cab is a mess! I've either replaced or bolstered lots of it with steel.
However, the intricate "poles" that go from floor to cab ahead of the door ("A pillars") will be difficult to match in steel. And they have to be very accurately made. I'm stuck right at that point.
In my case California has preserved much of the highly-formed wood that makes up the door jambs, etc.
I want to talk to him about his project!
I also own (in pieces) a 1930 or so Chevy truck. Same kind of disaster but less intricate cab details.
Gorgeous styling as CB says but terrifying to fix correctly.
Oh and I have a C series pickup. Same deal. Wood galore.
